"Ah? They took a person too?" Qingtian stared at Li Yunyang with a puzzled expression. "No way, Brother Li has been with us since yesterday evening. He couldn't have gone out to drink and abduct someone!"
"That's right!" Xiang Xueer helped Li Yunyang, who was sitting on the ground, and pointed at his face. "Old Madam, although this man is lecherous and lacks morals, we can all testify that it definitely wasn't him who went to your Yixiang Pavilion last night."
This Dead Girl actually said that about me in front of others. Li Yunyang glared angrily at the old madam. "Let me tell you, a Shape-shifting Monster took on my appearance and caused trouble everywhere. We came here to catch it!"
"Shape-shifting Monster? You are Exorcists?" Guan Erniang was startled and looked at the people around her. "If you are Exorcists, then hurry up and find Peach Blossom for me. I'm really worried about what might happen to her."
Xiang Xueer nodded, turned her head to glance at Yixiang Pavilion, and several of them walked inside. After entering Peach Blossom's room, she carefully examined the scene.
"There are no signs of struggle or fighting in the room, which means Peach Blossom was likely taken away while unconscious!" After checking the bed, Xiang Xueer's eyes fell on the windowsill, where she noticed a bit of red soil left behind. "It seems she left through the window; no wonder none of you saw any signs of them leaving."
"Yes, that analysis makes perfect sense." Qingtian looked on from the side and nodded in agreement. Guan Erniang looked at Li Yunyang and Lian Cheng Xue with some surprise. "Who is this little girl? She seems quite impressive!"
Lian Cheng Xue smiled slightly. "She is from a prestigious family, the third miss of the Ouyang Clan."
"Shh!" Li Yunyang frowned and quickly covered his mouth. "Keep your voice down; she hates the name Ouyang more than anything. Be careful not to let her hear you."
Platypus proudly interjected with her hands on her hips. "You guys don't know anything! I am the only one who knows my sister's true identity and how amazing she is; you bunch of fools!"
Guan Erniang stared at Platypus in shock and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, there are humans like Duck?"
Xiang Xueer turned to Guan Erniang and picked up some of the remaining red soil in her hand. "Old Madam, do you know where there is this kind of red soil nearby? I suspect the suspect may have been to this place, which is why they left this kind of dirt on their feet!"
"Red soil?" After thinking for a moment, Guan Erniang replied, "I know there's a place called Red Demon Village several dozen miles across from here. It's said that place is filled with monsters year-round and no one lives there; the land there is red because it's stained with human blood."
Red Demon Village? A few people glanced at it and began to walk outside. The old woman hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Forget it, let's not go there. Just hearing others mention it gives me the creeps."
Xiang Xueer opened the map and pointed along the route, "Sure enough, this place really exists. We need to hurry; otherwise, we won't make it before dark!"
Platypus, standing high on a chair, patted Guan Erniang on the shoulder, "Don't worry, with my big sister here, no monster will dare to come near."
The old woman looked at Xiang Xueer's frail body with concern and clicked her tongue, "Sigh, I hope you won't end up being just enough to fill a monster's teeth!"
By evening, the group of four, along with Duck, finally arrived at Red Demon Village. Xiang Xueer turned to look beside her and asked, "Hey? Where's Duck?"
"Hmph, he must have been scared off already!" Li Yunyang scoffed as he surveyed the barren red land around them, which seemed endless. The cold breeze made them shiver.
After circling around a small stream, they encountered low hills. A waterfall several meters high gushed down from the mountaintop, and the icy mist added to the chill. The four of them crouched nearby, waiting for their prey to appear.
At midnight, while the other three were asleep, it was Xiang Xueer's turn to keep watch. Suddenly, in the black night across from her, she noticed a cluster of red objects moving. She nudged Li Yunyang beside her, and the two quietly crept over.
Hiding behind a small hillock, they saw two strange figures carrying a young girl dressed in red who was in a hurry. The two reached a waterfall when they suddenly felt a slight tremor beneath them.
They watched as the water flow from the waterfall stopped. Slowly, colorful ripples began to appear like a barrier. Before long, a massive black door creaked open.
At that moment, as if by magic, a Small Bridge appeared across the waterfall. The two figures carried the woman over. From a distance, they could see two identical men standing at the entrance—both bare-chested and wearing long pants; one was in blue and the other in red.
"How is it? How's this batch of goods?" One of the men in red pants took a close look at the unconscious girl handed over by the two figures and smiled as he nodded, "Haha, this girl is not bad; the boss will definitely be pleased this time."
After saying that, one tall and one short exchanged quiet laughter. Then one of them held up something resembling a small plaque and showed it to the two men before stepping out from the door. As soon as he stepped onto solid ground, the door slammed shut with a loud bang! The Small Bridge instantly vanished, and the previously still waterfall began flowing again as everything returned to normal.
"Hmph, this is quite a hidden place. Without a doubt, Peach Blossom must have been captured here as well," Xiang Xueer couldn't help but exclaim, it could almost rival Wukong's Flower-Fruit Mountain Water Curtain Cave.
Li Yunyang nodded, and soon after, Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue, who had been awakened by the earthquake, followed. They were astonished by the scene before them. Just as they were about to reach out and pat her shoulder to say something, they looked down and realized that Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang had already vanished. Could they have gone to snatch the token?
Looking up, it was indeed as expected; the two ruffians had started to block the road and rob them. Xiang Xueer stood there with her head tilted, arrogantly facing the two men, hands on her hips in a manner reminiscent of a little tyrant. She waved her hand and shouted, "Stop... Stop right there! This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass through here, leave behind some toll!"
The tall and short men exchanged glances, momentarily stunned. Suddenly, a young girl appeared out of nowhere to rob them?
The tall man on the left scratched his head, sizing up Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang for a while. He probably thought the two posed no threat at all, so he candidly replied with two words: "No money!"
The short one on the right was even more succinct; he was clearly holding back laughter and managed to grunt out two words: "Same here!"
Damn it, Xiang Xueer looked down at her outfit. Although she had the demeanor of a bandit, she was still somewhat of an Exorcist. Forget it, she wouldn't hold it against them. She then looked up at the two men and fiercely commanded, "Hand over your waist tokens obediently, or I'll send you straight to meet Yama!"
"Wahaha!" As soon as Xiang Xueer finished speaking, the two men burst into laughter. The tall one exaggeratedly bent over as if he were a lobster. He blinked and said with a grin, "Where did this wild girl come from? Do you even know who we are? How dare you try to rob us."
Seeing their reaction, Xiang Xueer lost patience looking at the two 'high-low cabinets.' She snorted through her nose and pulled out an AK-47 from behind her, aiming it at them: "You have three seconds to consider."
"One, two, three!" After she shouted that, the two men immediately changed their expressions and turned to look at her in surprise. They asked, "Do you arrogant fools even know where this is? This is Underground City!"
Underground City? Xiang Xueer was taken aback: "I've never heard of an Underground City. I've only been to hell!"
